Ho Chi Minh City’s smart-city moment: AI ambition, metropolitan scale and the ASEAN urban agenda
Ho Chi Minh City is entering a new phase of its smart-city development. The city is now linking its smart urban agenda to AI, digital government, data governance, innovation districts, urban rail, green mobility and its wider role as Vietnam’s largest economic platform. This talk will use Ho Chi Minh City as a case study in the next generation of Southeast Asian smart-city development: how fast-growing metropolitan cities move from ambition to implementation while dealing simultaneously with infrastructure pressure, climate risk, digital transformation, regional competition and the governance demands of scale. I will also connect HCMC’s trajectory to the ASEAN Smart Cities Network, in which the city was one of the original 26 pilot cities.
